    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

    I just did find it. It was tucked tight against steering column way up there. I also found a red wire which is almost cut in half . It is a single red wire under dash on the radio side. Maybe for the cig lighter?

    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

I am having a hard time locating the gp controller card. when I look under dash on steering side I...

    Looking at 85 CUCV

    RE: 85 chevy Buy it. You will never enjoy a vehicle as much as this slow running ugly neighbor hating beast. I am referring to the m1008 though. They are fun.

    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

    When you say service lights what are you referring to. Headlights and such? Check the switches at left of steering collum near door. They can be confusing. You want the rt switch to be service lights on, Or all on.

    starter bracket/ broken bolt m1008

    Ok thanks . I need to get under there and see whats up. I just recently downloaded the manuals for this truck. I have not looked at them yet, is it a over the counter part? I hope so since I am not good at fab.

    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

    The glow plu relay is under the hood, to the left of the brake master cylinder. It has two large screw/studs which usually have a boot over them. If it looks like a silver barrel it has been upgraded. If it looks like a long plastic prong prodruding out it needs replaced. Again I dont know what...

    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

    Well at that temp outside I would say that your glowplugs are working. If its starting easy I would assume you are good. But I am no expert , only from my experience. Still for insurance check under the hood for that plastic glow plug relay. It is not quality. These guys on this site could...

    Looking for my first m1008!

    Personally I think its hard to find one in decent shape for good price/ unless you can do good work yourselfwith regards to elect and body work . From what I have seen they tend to need a lot of work , unless already restored.In which case will cost more.

    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

    Well at least the truck is running. Do you hear noise, clicking or whining? Whats the temp outside. How do you know when to start it with no indication light. Is it a truck or blazer, not that it matters.Look under the hood to see if you have the old black plastic glow plug relay. Replace if...

    starter bracket/ broken bolt m1008

    In the past I have had a broken starter mounting bolt. It caused the starter to damage the flywheel. It is repared now, but I recently noticed that there is no starter support bracket . I have read (somewhere) that a bracket should prevent this. My question is where do I get one, is it a...

    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

    Does it stay on even after the truck starts? When my glowplug relay was bad the wait light took a long time , but would eventually go out. Wouldnt start, but light did go out .as if it timed out.

    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

    I just started the truck this morning and wait light did come on, so I assume it was still warm last time when I thought there was a problem. I do not remember paying attention to the voltmeter at that time, i think I was concentrating more on any sounds under the dash. I will keep an eye on the...

    still questionable existing glow plug controller prob.

    I just went outside to move the truck inside the garage, and noticed the glow plug light did not come on. I waited about 7 seconds and attempted start. It fired right up. About 35-45 temp. Very out of normal for this truck. Any ideas?
